This forest area information resulted from a compre- 

 hensive resurvey of Missouri's forest resources which was 

 completed through the combined efforts of the Forest 

 Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the School 

 of Forestry of the University of Missouri, and the Missouri 

 Conservation Commission. The T. J. Moss Tie Company also 

 assisted with the survey in certain areas. The University 

 of Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station is publishing 

 regional statistical reports covering this resurvey. The 

 Central States Forest Experiment Station will publish an 

 analytical report for the State as a whole.
